Google has developed their own diff algorithm to make update packages way smaller than they had found possible before. Their idea is that smaller updates means more updates pushed per unit of bandwidth. It will be fast enough that when passed as silent that Google is confident it can update as often as necessary to keep users safe without interruption.

That is very interesting and very useful... Google is always trying their best to beat their competition :D



I support their OS.

I just love how Google uses something, says to themselves, "this isn't good enough", and then just turns around and creates their own binary diff tool.

What's that? A topic with the word "Google" in it? Quick, better mention something about SEO.
